Basically download the desired app (even though it may no longer support 6.1.6) to your computer (so that your App Store account has a record of the purchase/redemption) then either try to download it again through the Store app on your iPod Touch or sync the app by attaching the iPod to your computer. Either way a message will pop up saying that the app is not supported on this version of iOS but offers to download the latest compatible version.

go on iTunes on your mac and download all the apps you want on your iPod touch. now login under the same apple if account on your iPod touch and download the apps. it will ask you if you want the old version of your stuff. go on and live life.

Yeah, do have an old iTunes backup somewhere that has those older apps on it? Via the new iTunes (or is it OTA?) I get a message saying (basically) "Hey buddy, you want the last version that worked with your iOS?" -say yes.

I used the same account as my iphone and uploaded all the apps onto the ipod touch, but NONE of the apps downloaded, like youtube, facebook, twitter, etc. None of those worked as well as others like pandora and other gaming apps too.

I tried syncing my Ipod Touch with the app's I wanted but got this message

"Some of the apps in your iTunes library including Facrnook, Youtube etc. were not installed on the iPod because they are not compatible with this iPod. For a list of apps that could not be installed, click the + below".

Hmm, try opening the App Store and going to updates, tap purchased, tap Not on This iPod. Try installing from there.
